Childhood. The moments of innocence and genuine smiles. Adulthood. The time period of carrying out responsibilities and showcasing our talents.

In between comes the teenage life. The time where everyone is either the bane of our existence, or the ultimate villain of our story. Little things tend to gain importance whereas the major things often slip out of our mind. We live on drama and talk about things we have no idea about. What for? Just to seem cool. 

We try to hide our pain inside our giggles and laugh. We say, who cares? And perhaps, indeed they don't. We break down. We get up. We break down again. We think it's enough. We think, it's just a game. When it's not. And ultimately, we fall. We fall, to never rise again the same. Thinking it's the end, when it's just the beginning.

But even at this point, there are a few ones who make us laugh. Forget our pain. And pull us up when we loose all of our hope. 

We call them friends.

This is a story about seven broken individuals who slowly, but surely heal. Through happiness. Pain. Friendship. It's a story about what we have lost and what we can gain.

It's a story about love.

It's a story about life. 
It's a story about living life. And living it to the fullest.

Because, after all, we live only once.

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.

THAT FIRST BREAK (Broken Redemption Prequel 1)

21 parts Complete Mature

Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. I had everything a guy could ask for, a loving family, the perfect small-town life, and a promising future I had worked hard for. It should have been enough. She was off-limits, my parent's best friend's daughter, practically my sister. I fought my feelings, pretending our soul-deep connection didn't exist. When she confessed she felt the same, I pushed her away, believing our friendship mattered more than temporary infatuation. That she agreed should have come as a relief, but it left me with this void I didn't know how to fill. It's what drove me to the bonfire that night. Right there, with our friends as witnesses, I claimed her. Told her I loved her and made her promises I shouldn't have made. Hours later, it all came crashing down in a whirlwind of fire and ashes. That one split-second choice to go after a girl that wasn't meant for me cost me everything I loved. I never should have crossed that line or given in. It's why she'll forever be my greatest love and deepest regret. This tragic story is the beginning of our end...
